7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today,
there are many dangers and problems.
Ensure that you observe the following general information and safety information when handling
batteries and rechargeable batteries.
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeablebatteriesmustneverbeshort-circuited,disassembledorthrownintore.There
is a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin on contact;
therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
• Donotrechargenormalbatteries.Thereisariskofreandexplosion!Onlychargerechargeablebat-
teries (1.2 V) intended for this purpose. Use suitable battery chargers. Batteries (1.5 V) are intended for
one-time use only and must be disposed of properly when discharged.
• Always observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries or connecting the charger (observe plus/+
and minus/-). Incorrect polarity will damage not only the transmitter but also the plane model and the
batteries.Thereisadangerofreandexplosion.
• Always replace the whole set of batteries in the transmitter. Do not mix full batteries with half-full ones.
Always use batteries/rechargeable batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries! Use only batteries for the remote control transmitter
(see chapter 9. a).
• If the device is not used for an extended period of time (e.g. storage), remove the inserted batteries from
the remote control to avoid damage from leaking batteries.
